EXTRA SNAP IS ENDING! The additional SNAP payment, officially called Emergency Allotments, will end in February 2023.

Starting in March, you will only get your regular SNAP payment loaded to your EBT card in the first half of the month. There will be no second payment later in the month.
Without the extra SNAP, your benefit amount is based on your income and the expenses the program allows you to report. You should report uptodate information as soon as possible so that you are receiving all of the benefits you are eligible for.

Report a Change in ONE of the Following Ways:
Call the Customer Service Center at 8773958930 (PA) or 2155607226 (Philly only)

Using the MyCOMPASS PA mobile app (free on the Apple App or Google Play Store)

Visit your local County Assistance Office (CAO) to report changes in person.
